Before Mickey Rourke decided to use his face for a speed bag, he was known for erotic think pieces like 9 1/2 Weeks (1986). Kim Basinger took on bigger roles after this star-making vehicle, but as hard as fans of her fabulous funbaggage in this film have hoped, she never again reached this level of nonstop erotic overkill. During the period mentioned in the title, Mickey exposes Kim to one new level of sensual boundary-breaking after another, from cross-dressing to sadomasochism to voyeurism to an attempted threesome. Sounds like an okay way to spend two months and change to Mr Skin—with Kim Basinger anyway.
